Joyful Moments~ February 2016

Joy moment One~ We celebrated my husband's Birthday on January 29th together and then on January 31st; we were able to celebrate his birthday with our son and some of his family. We had fun with them all! It was my husband's 70th birthday; so that is a milestone for him. We are now the same age; yeah! He had a great day and enjoyed talking on the phone with his other children and grandchildren.

Joy moment two~ One of our joys is our sweet dog Sammy. He is so fun and we love him so much. Sammy is very smart and has us wrapped around his little paw. He really loves my husband and is always so happy when "Daddy" comes home. They love playing with Sammy's toys. He likes to mainly play tug of war and he seldom lets go of his toy. He is a great stress reliever. Sammy likes to get on a chair in our study and look out the window. He especially likes watching the ducks that are across the street. Sammy loves to sit by us and he loves being cuddled. He is our precious little fur baby.

Joy moment three ~We had two other couples join us on our MLS mission in January; Elder and Sister Foutz and Elder and Sister Goodrich. Each of the couples serve in two other buildings in our Stake; each building has three wards in it. This is one of our planning meetings with our full time Elders; Elder Araujo and Elder Dutton. We always enjoy these young men and women that serve so faithfully. We are excited to serve with these two couples. We are very intent on hastening the work of our Savior Jesus Christ. To all you treasured friends and family out there! We are very busy with our mission endeavors. I will be slowing down a bit on social media moments. I am struggling with not being able to read your blog and Facebook posts as often as I would like. Just know that I am thinking about you and will visit as often as I can. Sending love and hugs your way!

I can't believe how fast February flew by! I love all your pictures, I like how you put them in a collage, it's so fun! I love the cute pictures of Sammy, those little -- or big -- fur babies sure do make our hearts happy . . . :0)

I love hearing about your mission. The Bishop keeps talking to us about serving a mission. I'm not sure we are quite ready for it, I love the idea of staying in our own home, like you and Roger, and we have been seriously thinking about that. You two are awesome and such good examples for us, we love you!

I know what you mean about social media. I don't even do Facebook anymore, only on very rare occasions. And blogging seems to get less and less popular, with all everything else out there. I keep it only for a journal, but always love the comments!
